I'd certainly fight that one tooth and nail. On the other hand joy
riding at night is inherently dangerous, even with radar.

There is a *lot* of loose fishing gear floating around out there, some
of it large floating polypropylene line big enough to disable even a
mega yacht. Two years ago a 110 foot Broward got snagged off the
South Carolina cost while we were out that way.
